Consensus was reached regarding inclusion of the 'xml:lang' attribute on
the root stream, but not on the specific wording. I believe that this
email captures the consensus:

http://www.jabber.org/pipermail/xmppwg/2002-October/000211.html

This is a bit more specific than the text I included in my previous
mail, so I will revise that text (Section 4.2). In addition, I think 
one sentence needs to be added to the existing text in Section 8.1.5 
as well. I will post revised text for both sections as soon as possible.
